Barrels are mm ordinarily tight about the top or about the neck but it appears to make no difi'erence. 7H loose barrel or an air barre can be filled oeq zazlly WelL. If you wol'k'wiih leose ban-d erdinariiy the inatmia zhat is thrown in via the jet is compacized at the bottem so' that there 'WiH be n0 a mpe 1:? ah: When plzwawe 110 10a the escapu of Sail be the. at 5.111% zop but a the material runs (10m inta the Tom-re and is more and mere cmnnacteci in the barrel this escape 0f air is 2:15; finaiiy when the barrel fifisd thaw is :10 Escape 01"at least no Apparent assays sf any air all until 'he hopper is entir ay smpty.

This would seem to suggest at least, that the air which is entrained with the jei/ and which i's Bantam e61 Wifllin the barrel and in ha pmes or intoisiices between the particles escape violently if the jigging continues beyond the point at which the material is fed from the hopper into the barrel.

It has-been suggested that this compres sion of the air with the material in the barrel tends to cause a vacuum in the top of the barrel which then sucks the material from the hopper into the barrel. The action would seem to bear this out because the flow of the materialfrom the hopper into the and is compressed, the material from the hopper is drawn in and when the material would normally fling back up and re-expand slightly if the barrel had an open top, it cannot do so because the space it previously occupies is now occupied by something else. This probably explains, in part at least, the reason for the very rapid and smooth action of the jigging apparatus and process in tilling and compacting the material in the barrel.

When the process has been completed, and the proper amount of material is in the barrel, it develops that'the material in the barrel is so rigid that it would stand alone and you can take the barrel off and leave a monolit-hie mass of cement in shape of the barrel.

l. The method of packing pulverulent material in a container which consists in feeding such pulverulent material therein in a forced jet until it is substantially full feeding an additional quantity to a receptacle connected to the container and subsequently jarring container and receptacle until all the material is packed into thecontainer.

2. The method of packing pulverulent material in a container which consists in' feeding such pulverulent material therein in a forced jet until it is substantially full, feeding an additional quantity to a receptacle connected to the container to reach a predetermined total quantity, and subsev quently jarring container and receptacle until all the material is packed into the container. g

3. The method of packing pulverulent material in a container which consists in feeding such pulverulent material through a small hole therein in a fprced jet until it is substantially full, feeding an additional quantity to a receptacle connected to the container and subsequently jarring container and receptacle until all the material is packed into the container.
